Despite the perfect weather I'm used to in Los Angeles, there are aspects of my hometown in Virginia that I still really miss. Sure, the fall season is fantastic in the Mid-Atlantic region; but even more importantly, it's the people that I grew up with and who have settled back into the Hampton Roads area of Norfolk that make Virginia so appealing. Berto and Mary are high school friends with whom I've reconnected with recently; and after I saw photos of their home, I had to share. What was once a house rented out to college students is now a cozy, brighter, personable home thanks to Berto and Mary's careful planning and do-it-yourself attitude. Oh, and their beagle, Moe.
